This change is long overdue. After implementing this much more robust
system and deploying it on chat.zulip.org, we hesitated to make
load_server_counts the default behavior in master, because of data
anomalies present for many existing users (basically messages far back
in their history that they had never read, on streams they believed
themselves caught up on), which would have been confusing for many
users.
However, because the mobile apps have been using this data set for a
long time, we've likely cleared out the anomalies from active users'
data set. And for older users, they're going to come back to
approximately infinite unread messages anyway, so the data anomalies
are unlikely to be important.
Fixes#7096.
When user name changes are disabled and the disabled name change info icon
shows, trailing whitespace gets linkified because of the link's
inline-block property. Use Handlebars whitespace omission syntax to
eliminate this behavior.
This icon should only show when the user is not an admin and either the
realm or server settings have disabled name changes. Previously the icon
always showed for admin users.
The count_span element is parented by a .selectable_sidebar_block element
which is parented by the li element that the class is supposed to be added
to. Thus, use the parents() jQuery method for locating the li parent so
that the class gets added to the correct element.
This commit adds a new setting to the user's notification settings that
will change the behaviour of the unread count in the title bar and
desktop application.
When enabled, the title bar will show the count of unread private messages
and mentions. When disabled, the title bar will act as before, showing
the total number of unread messages.
Fixes#1736.
The proposed fix in #11662 was effectively a workaround for some
already bad logic. What we actually want to do is described in the
updated function comment (from the spec in #5914), and requires an
additionl case that was not present in the original implementation
(which effectively assumed a collapsed message was condensible).
Also add some documentation.
Fixes#11662.
The approach taken here is basically use user IDs in operator that
support it when sending the request for fetching the messages
(see comments in code for more details).
Combined with work in the desktop app, this makes it possible for the
desktop app to clearly indicate to other users whether the current
user is active on the system and thus would see a desktop
notification, not just whether they are active in the current Zulip
window.
Essentially rewritten by tabbott to add unit tests and consider the
desktop app data authoritative.
